THOSE TONNAGE DUES.
Savannah Takes Her Place in the Rear
Rank,


Editor Morning Ne,os: Years ago
the United States Supreme
Court declared that any dues on tonnage
levied by cities in their corporate capacity
were unlawful. Whereupon some cities,
notably Savannah, changed the wording of
the charge for harbor dues from SO much
per ton register d. Q. 100 cubic feet to so
much per lineal foot, thinking thereby to
close the judicial optics, but on the first case
made the courts declared this to be trans
parent subterfuge, and since then CONNER
cial cities have abolished the dues entirely,
or so reduced them as to cover only the ser
vice rendered, In Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore no dues are
charged, in Norfolk the charge is 50 per
month for coastwise steamers, and 80 year
on sail vessels, in Wilmington it is 50 if
paid on arrival, or So if not paid
until the services of a harbor master
are required. In Charleston it is SO, in
Brunswick the charge is 81, and in Feinan..
dina it is pay what you like" In none of
these cities are the charges collected by
force. In Savannah the average charge on
coast sail vessels is 81 and on the steamers
sig. From the latter it has not been col
lected since July l, when payment was re-
fused, but from the former it is exacted by
force and security for payment refused alb
Soluueiy, the SAILING vessel not being able to
carry up individual cases, whereas the cor
porate steam lines are ready and willing to
make fight. This discriminating action is
of itself evidence of weak case, and such
a course on the part of an individual would
Justify the application of an ugly name.
1t is said that this tax is levied to defray the
cost of pulling out the distractions we our
selves placed in our river during the war
In charity to the brain tonnage Of the in
dividual who invented this reason it might
well be passed by as joke, but taken seri-
ously it makes the charge doubly illegal, for
the constitution expressly prohibits pay
ment of 1Cdr debts. Even if we might
honestly levy tribute on the shipping of
other States and countries to pay for our
own war acts, it could only be done during
the time the channel was kept open by the
city, and as the general government has
long ago taken the work in charge the
claim is outlawed In fact there seems to
be no ground to justify this exaction, and
any one who will read the utterances of the
United States Judges on this subject can
hardly fail to perceive that it is unLGtUfub.
If city deliberately violates those DEGREES
upon which all its own rights depend, how
can the corporate authorities of that city
expect its people to obey the laws which
may be by themselves in turn enacted?

ATLANTA'S COURTESY.
The Chatham Gun Club Does No
Like the Way 1t Was Treated.

The Chatham Gun Club Does Not
Like the Way 1t Was Treated.
The Chatham Gun Cub returned yester-
day from Atlanta, after a trip that was
unpleasant, TO- m my different reasons
The team that went up to shoot consisted
of Messrs. S. III. Roach, p. b. Mays, George
l.. Cope, Jr., George S. McAlpin and Ii. w.
Palmer They started on Sunday night.
but the train was delayed, and they got into
Macon at the hour at which they should
have arrived at Atlanta. They sent tele-
gram from Macon announcing the delay,
later in the day, and asking that
the contest be postponed for
a few hours. Two similar kilograms were
sent from points between Macon and At
lanta, and Mr.. George L. Cope, Jr., who
was in Atlanta, personally requested the
postponement of the match.
The team arrived at 2 O'Clock, and, jump
ing into carriages, drove at once to the
grounds without waiting for dinner. When
they arrived they were informed that the
contest had been concluded, having been
begun at 10 o'clock as advertised. The
prize for team shooting was won by score
of "a out of possible 100, and the indi-
vIdual prize on a score of 10 out of a posi-
bic 90 This is perhaps the reason
the contest was not postponed,
because the Atlanta club knew the
Chathams had a team that was sure to make
at least so out of 100, one of that team being
Mr.. Cope, who kills % out of 100; and as to
individual shooting, when DIR. Roach does
not kill 10 out of 20 there is something
wrong with the gun. One of the gentlemen,
in speaking of the matter, said that he did
not think the club had been treated courte-
ously by Atlanta, whose clubs knew that
they would have been treated far differ
emily had they been coming to Savannah

THE REGIMENT EN- ROUTE.
SAVANNAH SOLDIERS TO MARCH
BEFORE THE PRESIDENT.


-Four Companies on Their Way to At
lanta-The Start from Savannah
The Send-Of at the Central Depot
Two Train Loads of Excursionists.
Two thousand people saw the First Vol
unteer Regiment off for Atlanta last night.
The regiment carried up four companies of
100 men, and the regimeutal band, and trav-
eled in a special train of Pullman sleepers.
Col George A. Mercer was in command
Half an hour before the train pulled out
the Central depot was thronged. The regi-
ment rendezvoused at Broughton and Bull
streets at o'clock. The German Nolun-
teers were first in line, and were followed
by the Cadets and Blues. The Oglethorpes
came in fourth. The Irish Jasper Greens
were unable to carry up as many men as
they liked, and so decided not to go.
THE MARCH TO THE DEPOT.
At $50 o'clock the regiment started for
the depot The march was short, extending
through Broughton to West Broad and
thence to the train. The crowd at the car
shed and in front of the depot cheered as the
regiment halted. AS it marched through
the gates, and up the car platform, the band
struck up Dixie and the crowd cheered and
yelled again until it was hoarse. The num-
Der of men was not as large as
was expected. Many were unable at
the last moment to get away The
Cadets had the largest roster, and, as usual,
made a fine appearance Each company
occupied separate sleeper.
DOUBLE TRAIN.
The train went out in two sections. The
first section was made up of five Pullmans
and a Central sleeper Every berth was
taken, and the sitting coach was crowded
The second section had two Pullmans, two
sitting coaches, baggage and express car,
and smoker. At 9 o'clock the first section,
with the regiment on board, pulled out of
the depot, and the second section followed
five minutes later. Both were crowded,
and together they carried between 800 and
600 people.
THE PROGRAMME IN ATLANTA.
Upon its arrival in Atlanta this morning
the regiment will march from the depot to
Pause's restaurant for breakfast, and will
then take up the programme for the day, as
announced in Gen. Young's order published
in the MORNING NEWS yesterday. The
Presidential review will take place at Pied
mont Park at 1890 O'Clock, and the sham
battle will follow Immediately after. The
regiment will leave Atlanta tonight in a
special train, arriving home at O'Clock to-
morrow morning.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards did not
go as a battalion, but quite number went
up in fatigue uniform and occupied a
special Pullman sleeper.
To REPRESENT THE GUARDS.
Among those who went were Messrs. F.
D. Rockwell, E. A. Richmond, c. A. Gibbs,
r. W. Holt, D. G. Alexander, E. p. Postell,
C. NJ. Daniels, G. S. Orme, W. w. Osborne,
E. r. Wood, w. S. Dafin and E. Ander-
son.
The crowd which accompanied the mill
tary, though it was not as large as that
which went up on Monday night, was
greater than it was expected it would be.
The Central railroad sold over 700 Atlanta
tickets yesterday.

People do not like to be humbugged, and
still such seems to be the case. Where is the
reason in paying such high prices for ladies
and gentlemen's fine shoes, tourist and club
bags, when you can buy them from a selected
stock, which is most complete, and the styles
are the very nobbiest TO be had. These
Shoes, Tourist and Club Bags, are bought
direct from the factories for cash, saving
from Is to Is per cent. on every purchase
made from me- Come and see my stock and
the figures placed thereon will open your
eyes.
When you haver read these facts, ask your
self, why buy from a credit system, with
its high tolls, when you have a Live Cash
System close at hand that saves you money,

THE HOME FOR THE ORPHANS.
The New and Handsome Structure
Now Being Erected.


The Episcopal Orphans Home building is
rapidly nearing completion, and when 1t is
finished it will be one of the most perfect
! of the kind in the South. 1t is handsome
| in its design and construction, perfectly
safe from fire and accidents, large and
roomy and with such cOnvenlences as are
| deemed necessary. It will not be finished
with all the modern appliances for saving
! labor, because the children, who are so
carefully provided for will be taught not
how to save work, but TO work. in order
| that when they shall come of age and
go out to earn their own livelihood they
may be fitted for the positions they viii
| occupy The building, which is being con
structed by Mr.. John j. hewitt, is
solidiy built of brick, the dividing
walls being of brick to the roof,
thus dividing the house into com
partments and preventing the rapid spread
of flames should fire ever occur. The
walls and roof are all solidly joined together
with anchor bars, which will make the
building sufficiently strong TO withstand the
shock of an earthquake, unless the shock is
great enough TO throw down the entire
building. The interior is divided into
dining rooms, school rooms, dormitor1es,
with the necessary kitchen and laundry ar
rangements and the entire mansard is
one big room, that will be the play room
on rainy days. The front is Of white brick,
and the piazza is supported by columns OF
Georgia marble, white, pink and blue.
The home was founded by Bishop Stephen
Elliott, soon after he took charge of the
diocese, and Hon. Robert M. Charlton, and
they, with the assistance of two charitable
ladies, pushed the work forward until they
had made the home one of the prominent
charities of the city. Since that time in
terest has not been tagging. Under the
rectors of Christ church it has been carried
ON until it outgrew the accommodations
provided for it, and it became necessary to
look for other quarters. Now under the super
vision of Rev. Thomas Boone, the home has
made its greatest and most important step.
Charitable people made donations to the
building fund, and in a very short time
$4,000 were subscribed for the new struc-
ture and its erection was begun. The com
mittee having the work In charge has found
that about 81, 900 more will be needed, and
in order to raise that amount the ladies who
are interested in the work have determined
to hold a bazaar of nations in which Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, France,
America, China and Japan will be repre-
sented. This will be one of the events
of the winter and it will take place
Dec. 6, z, and o. The addition of this
amount of money to what is now in hand
will complete the building and enable the
managers to remove the children to their
new home from Isle of Hope, where they are
now residing. There are only about thirty
children in the home at present, but the new
building will accommodate 100 and be suffl-
GENTLY commodious to enable the managers
to receive many children who are now turn
ed loose on the world because of insufficient
accommodations.

again took charge of the Bergen, but on
Oct. II the tug however was cut and the
schooner was cast adrift on the eastern edge
of the Gulf stream, about 200 miles to the
eastward of Savannah. Capt. Squires
speaks very bitterly of the hospital authori-
ties at Nassau. He says that he had the
man with the broken leg put in the hospital
there and that he was compelled to pay S95
for nine days board and treatment, and
that the doctors failed then to reduce the
